Just as the Georgia Bulldogs watch one great quarterback leave Athens, they welcome in one of the best passers in the class of 2016. Five-star QB Jacob Eason confirmed his commitment to the Bulldogs on Twitter Saturday night: The 247Sports' composite ranking lists Eason as the second-best pro-style quarterback and 14th-best recruit overall for 2016. He was the second high-profile commitment for Georgia on Saturday, with 5-star offensive tackle Ben Cleveland—ranked 22nd overall on 247Sports' composite ranking—heading to ...

Under the forward-looking lens of college basketball recruiting, few players are too young to earn notice if they show enough promise. The class of 2016 has barely finished up its sophomore year in high school, but there are already a handful of stars in that group who have set themselves apart as top targets for college coaches to pursue. One of the best of them has been strutting his stuff this weekend at the Peach Jam, ...

Madison Mallards left fielder Alex Bacon got both cleats on the wall to climb up and hang on just long enough to rob Willmar Stingers' infielder Troy Kuhn of a home run.Bacon likely made the catch of the summer in the Northwoods League (a Midwest-based league composed of top college players), but the Mallards went on to lose 7-6.[Channel 3000 WISC-TV on YouTube, h/t Bob's Blitz]Editor's note: The local news video and a previous version of ...

I had another opportunity on Friday to talk with NFL scout Chris Landry on Steve Duemig's radio show, which was guest hosted by Ronnie Lane. I wanted to get Landry's take on the 2014 Wisconsin Badgers football team, as well as how they will match up with the LSU Tigers, who they will take on in the opening game of the season on August 30 at Reliant Field in Houston. Chris knows all about the LSU football ...

You'll be hard-pressed to find a prediction for the forthcoming SEC basketball season that doesn't put the Kentucky Wildcats in first place. Those who dare to downgrade the talented Cats are quickly deluged with feedback berating them for trying to be "shocking" or "controversial." Of course, that same feedback was plentiful last year, and it was Florida, not UK, that steamrolled the rest of the conference. Evaluated on a piece-by-piece basis, it's unlikely that the Gators ...

For the first time since 2000, the Atlantic Coast Conference will begin the college football season with the reigning national champion in its ranks. Just like back then, the Florida State Seminoles are the team defending their title. All eyes will be on Heisman trophy winner and Noles' starting quarterback Jameis Winston. He will attempt to lead his team to another title, and perhaps a second-straight Heisman. Winston is one of the player representatives who will be ...

Great guard play goes a long way. Just ask UConn's Jim Calhoun and Kevin Ollie, or even Michigan State's Tom Izzo, and they'd all say the same thing.Title outcomes are often left in the hands of the backcourt. Of course, Michigan's John Beilein is probably aware of that too. Due to a wonderfully talented and developing corps of guards, his Wolverines are considered to be a shining example of Big Ten hoops—not to mention the fact that ...

The American Athletic Conference is the most successful conference in college basketball history as far as percentage of seasons producing a national champion is concerned, but is the AAC headed for a sophomore slump in 2014-15? Even before Louisville and Rutgers were replaced by East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa, the AAC was a borderline major conference. It ranked eighth in conference RPI and was the seventh-strongest conference by Ken Pomeroy's estimation (KenPom subscription required). But now? Well, let's ...

The mystery man of this recruiting class is staying in Southern California.Quarterback Sam Darnold, a San Clemente High School prospect with fewer than 800 career varsity passing yards, committed to USC on Friday. The Tritons football program announced his decision on Twitter:Darnold, a 6'4", 208-pound prospect, missed the majority of his junior season while recovering from a foot injury that required surgery. Utah extended a scholarship following a sophomore season that saw him play tight end, quarterback ...
